Candy or Food Stocking Stuffers - Page 2

CVS and other drug stores always have tons of holiday treats available. Individually wrapped pieces of Lindt or Ghiradeli chocolates, small tins of mints, etc. Might be best to check your local drug store and see what suits your budget and recipient.

Edited to add hot chocolate packets.

@Mz iMac OMG, such memories. I didn't know they still sell those nostalgic stockings. Where do you buy them?

@Calibeach The local Dollar Store.

Brings back memories for me also. I did the same for my children when they were little.

Since you're looking for "new or unusual" -

Cracker Barrel has candy from decades past. You could also check Aldi since they have things from other countries.

I like to include a few things that are long and thin and can be used as a filler. Locally I can find at gift shops or candy stores a two pack of chocolate covered pretzel rods. Also include the long Slim Jims or small packs of beef jerky and Kind bars.

I also like the long individually wrapped Panda licorice rods. And I pass on candy canes, but do splurge on the candy cane shaped container of M&Ms, or mini Reese Cups.

It's been a tradition to buy our grandchildren a Terry's chocolate orange for Christmas every year. I better add those to my shopping list right now

When we were kids I can remember getting life saver story book that had two sides with rolls of all different flavors of life savers and boxes of Andes candys different flavors of chocolate. We got other kinds of candy in our Christmas stockings those two were stand outs. Plus we got small toys and other things in pur Christmas stockings.

Hammonds Candies Candy Cane. Not exactly inexpensive but they have a variety of flavors, are "Ornament" large and nice to look at. Especially peeking out of / hanging from, a Christmas stocking. Or tucked in the ribbons of a wrapped gift box.

@Pooky1 We got that lifesaver book every year for several years as part of our stockings. Great memories!

Wow nice. I love when I write about when we were kids and someone writes it brought them back memories. Like this thread brought me back to when my brother had I were kids. Now in 54 and my brother Jeffery just turned 52 friday.

@Etoile308 yes, adding some long & thin items! I have an advance order of the Mrs Prindables holiday pretzels that will be stocking stuffers. I'm also going to get some Slim Jims
